Jangled!

Some things are just too hard to hide

Finding ways to communicate effectively is always a challenge. Add in factors like socio-economic background, language skills or gender and things become very complex. Although the message of God's love and forgiveness is meant for a universal audience, finding effective tools and methods for sharing it around the world is not always easy.

The Global Short Film Networkproduces high-quality video material to illustrate key concepts of the Christian faith and make the message of Christ accessible to the widest range of people possible. Each film comes with a list of questions for reflection that can be used individually or in a group.

Jangled is one of their latest additions to the collection. Visit their website to view and download more free video material and resources.
